Devil’s Rejects: Tom Saywer
He wiped the blood from his face
As he slowly came to his knees
He said, "I'll be back when you least expect it-- And Hell's coming with me."
NAME: Thomas 'Tom' Sawyer
ETHNICITY: European Descent
SEXUALITY: My dude I don't even think he knows.
FANDOM: League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen/LXG/LOEG*
POWERS: Gunslinging, Hunter senses
Plot Twist: The Living Legend of the 20th century, finding out what Quartermain felt like. More bitter than a sour lemon.
i. Still in contact with the League Members, Mina gives him wisdom, Skinner makes sure keep him paranoid by showing up and changing his house around (and pinching his ass), and Nemo and Jekyll come to stay for the holidays cause they don't want him up in his own head (it's a noble effort to be sure).
ii. His Best friend, Huck Finn, was killed by the Fantom. He's actively chasing dangerous behaviors to seek personal vengeance and self forgiveness.
iii. Tom can actually hold the elephant gun steady now-- rather than wavering and shaking under the strain (courtesy of @bloodbulletsandbytes)
iv. Is actually still the idiot he was in his 20s but boy are his issues much bigger now.
There was a drifter passin’ through that little valley--
See, he had promised he was comin' back to town...
They didn't know him by his face...
Or by the gun around his waist...
But he'd come back to burn that town to the ground
*Despite only few references to Sawyer in the comic books, Sawyer was added to the film adaptation as an editorial mandate, intending to garner American "youth appeal", which disillusioned many fans of the source material, and was one of many reasons the film is disliked by Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill. He acts as a student-of-sorts to Allan Quatermain and is a U.S. Secret Service agent who joins the League. He is played by Shane West. [X]
**Tom Sawyer was created by Samuel Clemens aka Mark Twain, and appears in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer Abroad and Tom Sawyer, Detective.
The film's Sawyer does not adhere to the chronology of his literary counterpart, being born in the 1870s. The adventures of Twain's Sawyer take place before the American Civil War, which began in 1861. [X]
